Role & responsibilities

- Oversee and support the manufacturing and production of agrochemical products, ensuring consistent quality, yield, productivity and adherence to process parameters.
- Handle and supervise batch manufacturing operations, including reaction, filtration, drying, blending, milling/micronisation, packing and associated production activities.
- Possess solid practical knowledge of agrochemical plant equipment such as glass-lined reactors (GLR), spray dryers, centrifuges, filter press/nutsche filters, dryers, pulverisers/micronisers, blenders, scrubbers, vacuum systems, pumps and material-transfer systems.
- Participate in the installation, commissioning, start-up and stabilisation of plant machinery and production lines for the upcoming agrochemical unit.
- Review and optimise manufacturing processes, batch cycles, yields, productivity and plant capacity utilisation.
- Troubleshoot production, process and equipment-related issues and coordinate with maintenance, engineering and utility teams for timely resolution.
- Support scale-up and commercialisation of agrochemical products from laboratory/pilot stage to commercial production.
- Ensure manufacturing is carried out in accordance with approved SOPs, specifications, safety requirements and quality standards.
- Work closely with Quality Control, Quality Assurance, R&D;, Engineering, EHS, Purchase and Commercial teams for smooth plant operations.
- Assist in evaluating raw materials, intermediates, process requirements and manufacturing feasibility for existing and new agrochemical products.




- Maintain and review production-related documentation including batch records, process parameters, consumption norms, yields, deviations and production reports.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement, cost reduction, higher recovery/yield and reduction in production losses without compromising product quality.
- Ensure safe handling of chemicals and compliance with applicable EHS, pollution-control and statutory requirements within the manufacturing facility.
- Train, guide and supervise production personnel and establish appropriate operating practices and shop-floor discipline.
- Coordinate production planning based on customer requirements, inventory, raw-material availability and dispatch schedules.
- Provide technical inputs for product costing, manufacturing capability, capacity planning and customer/product evaluation, wherever required.
- Contribute to the development of the agrochemical business by bringing strong knowledge of agrochemical products, manufacturing processes, industry practices and market requirements.

Preferred candidate profile 10+ years of direct experience in agrochemical manufacturing, with hands-on understanding of agrochemical products/formulations, manufacturing processes, plant machinery and commercialisation. The candidate should be capable of participating in product selection, process development/scale-up, plant commissioning and day-to-day manufacturing, while also understanding customers and the commercial agrochemical market.
